Features

Drilling & Grinding

We combine the best of old-school craftsmanship with new-school technology in every MasterCraft. Rather than rely on random placement of upholstery, grab rails, and other items attached to the boat, we jig every one to ensure that every part goes in the correct place, every time.

Environment

Within our 250,000 sq. ft. facility, MasterCraft binds itself by the disciplines of Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing to create a clean, controlled environment. We are the only boat manufacturer to have achieved global ISO 9001:2008, 14001, and OHSAS 18001 certifications from Alliance International, LLC. In fact, MasterCraft was even a finalist for Industry Week's "Best Plant Award." The result? The best quality in our class, a safe workplace for employees, and minimized impact on the environment through lowered emissions and increased recycling.

Research & Development

Since our first boat in '68, innovation has been a hallmark of the MasterCraft brand. Our designers and engineers transform cutting-edge vision into on-water reality using some of the most sophisticated technologies available, while our elite team of validation specialists ensures every model is rigorously tested in the harshest conditions.

Mold Maintenance

Molds are at the heart of every boat built by MasterCraft, which is why we maintain every one with such fervor and care. Molds are thoroughly waxed every 2-4 uses and detailed every 50 by one of the industry's only dedicated department of full-time mold-care specialists.

Q&A Checkpoints

MasterCraft owners deserve more than a boat that's simply "assembled." Every part is inspected structurally and aesthetically throughout our build process. And our team of quality assurance inspectors continually audits each boat to ensure it meets our stringent standards before passing the gelcoat, lamination, and final-finish stations and the intense on-water test.

Gelcoat

With the industry's highest-grade gelcoat and an experienced team of application specialists, MasterCraft gives each boat an enduring, lustrous look right out of the mold.

Resin Counter

To ensure the highest quality control during every phase of the lamination process, resin counters at each lamination station guarantee a consistent spray of laminate to eliminate excess weight and materials.

Anchorlok

Steel, aluminum, and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) are laminated into each liner, hull, and deck so that every external item is securely anchored to withstand any high-pressure force and reduce the potential of gelcoat cracks over time.

Dash Assembly

An in-house sub-assembly department pieces together all small components, like the dash, so that our supply chain is reduced to hours, not weeks. Once assembled, the small parts move to the rigging line, where they are installed and tested for performance.

Stringers

A MasterCraft's all-composite framework is centered around foam stringers that provide rigidity, while also helping to dampen sound and vibration.

Upholstery

Fiberglass Sheet Room

MasterCraft uses the latest precision technology in the cutting-room to pre-cut all fiberglass sheets for individual models, ensuring consistency and guaranteeing each boat follows a pre-determined lamination schedule.

Trailers

It's no surprise to learn we make our own trailers. An entire team of engineers is dedicated to making sure our trailers match the legendary build quality and attention to detail you get with our boats. Graphics, lighting and wheel colors offer plenty of ways to make it uniquely yours while double-welded seams, premium quality steel, huge disc brakes and a perfect fit for each hull give you the piece of mind to know your ride will get there safely.

Billet Vents

Underwater Gear

Investment cast nibral rudders and struts offer a superior strength-to-weight ratio and give each MasterCraft a sure grip on the water.

R&D Validation

Since our first boat in '68, innovation has been a hallmark of the MasterCraft brand. Our R&D department is the industry's largest, all to provide you with exactly the running surface and the boat that's right for your needs. MasterCraft's engineering staff alone brings more than 150 years of collective experience to the table, including the refined expertise of a naval architect. They transform cutting-edge vision to on-water reality using some of the most sophisticated design technologies available, while our elite team of validation specialists ensures every model is rigorously tested in the harshest conditions.

Murphy Gauges

A single touch screen lets you see and set all operating speeds and feeds, store rider preferences for the Gen 2 Surf System, or playback footage from the GoPro camera.

Less Draft

Worried that a VectorDrive inboard won't allow you in the shallows? Don't be. Our boats draws less water than comparable stern-drives, allowing you to explore more shorelines in search of the perfect sandbeach playground.

Power Control

With a VectorDrive inboard boat, power goes directly to the prop, meaning greater torque and pulling power. And thanks to a separate, rack-and-pinion-driven rudder system, our boats turn easier than a sterndrive's bulky out-drive.

Superior Handling

Turning is immediate and precise on VectorDrive inboard boats, thanks to a rudder that is positioned directly in the slipstream of the propeller. With a wider range of motion than a huge stern-drive unit, our boats turn quicker, tighter, and with greater efficiency.

Swim Safe

VectorDrive inboard units are tucked neatly under the boat, in and away from swimmers and wayward feet. Thanks to an integrated boarding platform, they are also easier to get on and off the boat safely. (Never be on or around a boarding platform while the engine is running.)

In-Tank Fuel Pump

Spline Shaft

To minimize vibration and prop slippage, our shaft and coupler use a fitted tongue-and-groove design, which requires fewer parts and tools, making maintenance quick and easy.

Hand-Laid Fiberglass

Our hand-laid and hand-rolled fiberglass method-standard since 1983-ensures that each boat receives a calculated lamination schedule in high-stress areas, built to withstand not just years of boating, but decades.

Muffler

Don't worry about keeping sound down in a MasterCraft. Unlike our competition, noise-reducing fiberglass mufflers are available on every boat we offer.

Non-Corrosive Hardware

Masterview Bolster Seat

Completely re-engineered for 2016, our helm seat increases ergonomic comfort by reclining, swiveling and elevating into place with a dynamic hydraulic lift system.

Swivel Board Racks

Easily clamp your boards into place for increased stow-away space and swivel your equipment 180° into the boat for boathouse storage.

Ski Pylons

We pull no punches with our pylons. Each is constructed of solid aluminum, anodized to prevent wear and then through-bolted into steel plates eight to 16 times to sustain merciless torque. It's topped off with a WearGuard nylon inset to prevent rope chafe.

JL Audio System

Have a blast aboard a MasterCraft, with the JL Audio interior and tower speakers, designed exclusively for MasterCraft. Controlled by a premium head unit, our standard speakers optimize sound clarity inside and out.

Garapa Gold Boarding Platform

Big is beautiful: MasterCraft's oversized exotic Garapa Gold wood platform is the perfect place for putting on equipment, teaching young ones how to ski, or getting back on board.

Automatic Bilge System

Forgot to hit the auto bilge switch? Don't worry. MasterCraft does it for you with a bilge system that automatically senses bilge water level and empties it.

Premium Vinyl

Your upholstery should look as good as your boat. MasterCraft's premium-grade marine vinyl is puncture resistant with UV protection, mildew resistors, and stain-resistant treatment that maintains its shape, luster and color for years.

Ballast System

Rotocast tanks positioned above and beneath the floor utilize their own industrial-sized pumps to quickly ingest up to 1,000 lbs of water weight in under five minutes.

Steering Wheel

Even with an element as basic as a steering wheel, MasterCraft makes you look good on the water. With our four-spoke, vinyl-wrapped, polished aluminum steering wheel, (standard on most models) you'll make all the turns in style.

Murphy Gauges

Touch the screen and you are calling the shots. Our performance Murphy 7-inch and 4.3-inch digital screens provide the driver with access and full control to the entire boat. Complexity, simplified.

Trailer Shop

Forged from raw, premium steel, MasterCraft trailers are specifically designed to cradle your boat in form-fitting support while on the road or in your garage.

Ramp-N-Clamp

Talk about simple: the optional Ramp-N-Clamp automatically locks onto the bow eye when you drive onto the trailer, meaning you don't have to get out of the boat or car for loading. To launch, back the trailer in the water and pull the handle up to release your boat.

Pivot Tongue

So you need a precious few inches to store your boat? No worries. Simply pull the pin and collapse the tongue for 18 inches of additional space.

Custom Trailers

The link between land and water is the trailer. And everything is riding on that journey. So we make insanely great trailers. Each is custom built for the boat it carries, in the same factory and with the same quality. Innovative features. Premium materials. Designed from experience to deliver high performance. And with many low profile wheel options to choose from, the cradle for your baby rides in complimentary style.

Trailer Lights

Burn daylight and come into the ramp late. Our exclusive MasterCraft Shield Lamp and high output LED reverse lights make loading your MasterCraft safe and easy.

Disc Brakes

All MasterCraft trailers feature huge disc brakes and torsion axle suspension for maximum stopping power and a smooth ride over the bumpiest of roads and ramps.

Electric Brake Release

Forget the pigtail: With the new Jet Connex coil trailer connector, you're in control thanks to an integrated electronic brake release that disengages the brakes in reverse.

Prop Guard

Eliminate ramp, road, and driveway gouges and protect your prized prop at the same time with MasterCraft's sturdy prop guard and steel caster wheels.
